Romans 10:9"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved."

The theme songs for Bohol this past week are....."I feel the earth move under my shoes" and the "Jail House Rock" The city jail needs rocked and serious repair. it would be so easy to throw weaponry into the jail inmates from outsiders looking in? How easy to be used by them against the police or other persons. CRAZY!
